If his seventeen years of experience has taught Craig Lawton only one thing, it's this:
Life is too damn precious to throw away...
It's like, you know those dreams?"
Performing on a stage to a full audience?
When you're in the spotlight, and you look down-
And you realise you're completely naked?
Caught off-guard without a script.
No lines. No cues. No curtain-call.
That's me. All the time.
Ever since I was caught out and exposed.
Betrayed. Shamed. Ruined.
By someone I should never have trusted.
I made a single mistake, and it cost me everything.
My school, my friends, and my freedom.
Mum wouldn't look at me.
Dad took control of me.
I flipped the page and started fresh.
But still, that wasn't enough.
There's nothing I can do now that'd ever be enough.
It's at rock bottom that Sebastian Davis finds me.
I'm his worst nightmare.
He's my best hope.
The ground has not been steady beneath my feet for so long,
I've forgotten how it feels.
And no matter how hard he refuses,
It seems that Sebastian has been fated to remind me.

Loving the Player - BxB
Three simple words, and yet they mean so much. The words that everyone dreams of hearing, yet dread uttering. It's funny, isn't it, that a few months ago I had heard the same the words, and since then my whole world has turned upside down and inside out. Life is unpredictable, I still don't understand how psychics do it. But they're probably all frauds anyway. I've never been to one, ever. It goes against my rule of code. Jamie Williams never trusts people with his fortune. That was rule number 1 in my rule book. My admittedly rather lengthy rule book. Long enough to suffice as the constitution of a new empire. Yeah. My life was pretty messed up. But over the last few months, there have been a few changes, for better or for worse, I will never know. But all I know is I need a place to vent out all my anger, frustration and maybe even a small hint of happiness. Maybe this book will be the place. If you aren't a good listener, I suggest you to place this book down under the loose floorboard in your bedroom and carry on with your life. If you are, well, you still have an option. Take it or leave it. But I promise you, my life's story is much more complex than you would have ever imagined.
Tainted Wings
"Why are you so fucking scared of the truth?" He seethed. The truth. I slowly brought my hands up to his face and kissed him. I kissed him with a desperation akin to that of defying death. This is the closest to the truth you will ever get. I needed this. For the first time in my life i found myself wanting someone, needing someone. I needed his words, i needed his cruelty, i needed his insults, i needed every bit of him. **************************************************** A fracture in his facade. Alystair Satori built walls so high he created an unescapable prison for himself. Cold and indifferent was what he was notoriously known as at the prestigious highly ranked boarding school in England for the rich. The schools new player, Romen Abarra, all he's ever known was alcohol, flirting and running from brutal memories. If only they knew why he left home. What started out as flirting and banters between the unlikely pair turns into something consuming, dangerous and unrelenting love in the chaos of it all. #2 fuckboy #1 rich //15/10/2025
Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.

War of Hearts (BoyxBoy) [Book 1: Unspeakable Series]
Theo People say that love brings out the best in you and I guess their partially right. But as for myself, well that's a different story. Love brought out the good, the bad, and the ugly with in me. It's a little ironic, don't you think? That something as beautiful and seemingly pure as love can be twisted and manipulated into something so unbearably grotesque ... dark. Love in whatever form, whether it's pure or dark is all consuming and that in itself is beautiful, right? And it's really just all a game. It has to be. But I've been losing it for so long to the supposed love of my life, my everything, my...brother. I've never really been able to handle losing and it was killing me. He was killing me in this awful...beautiful game of love and I just...lost it. This game was turning into a war. A war I had to win. A war of hearts. [Warning: this story contains mature content, graphic scenes, violence, sexual situations, explicit language, drug use, boy on boy love and a whole lot of other stuff that may make you uncomfortable.
